INTRODUCTION

A stylish magazine that broadens the reference points of the sport

Mondial expands the idea of what road cycling is and what the sport can be. Featuring incisive longform writing and stunning photography, in Mondial you will find familiar cycling topics given a fresh new treatment, while a cycling viewpoint is brought to wider cultural subjects, thus broadening the sport’s reference points.

In issue 006, Mondial takes its widest view of the road yet. As driverless cars make the leap from if to when, we look at one notable blind spot in the AV armoury: cyclists. Jenny Southan reports on the ubiquitous on-demand deliveries that have made Jakarta’s roads all but impassable, and Andrew Longmore considers the future of women’s cycling in the context of other sports that have implemented meaningful change. Paul Fournel offers a Europhile’s lament, while our stunning photo-essay from central Asia explores the origins of the Astana project. Bestselling author and commercial airline pilot Mark Vanhoenacker reflects on the wonders to be seen from the cockpit, while elsewhere we examine how turning off the GPS just might help stave off dementia, and media lawyer Alex Wade offers some sobering advice for tweet-happy trolls.

Some great features, high quality of printThe best thing about Mondial is that it comes out twice a year, i.e. not too often. The content is good and it features interesting articles - or way or the other - related to cycling and ultimately to Rapha. The quality of print is excellent (paper choice, design, photography, etc.) The only drawback is that this magazine is nothing but a form of shameless promotion for Rapha. But then again it's okay to feature itself but it would be nice if they featured fewer articles on RCC and focused more on cycling specific articles.

Some interesting items but...I've read all of the Mondials so far and there have been a number of interesting articles to date. But I am not a fan of the look/layout - especially the cover which just looks dull and uninviting

Keeps getting betterI get this magazine as part of my RCC membership and have to say it keeps getting better, the typical Rapha values of high quality come shinning through again as I would expect.
